Arrow International anesthesia and nerve block kits recalled for contaminated injectable solutions
Arrow International anesthesia kits recalled for contaminated solutions
Arrow International included lidocaine, bupivacaine, and saline solutions from a supplier with quality problems in multiple anesthesia and nerve block kits. The supplier's products may be ineffective or contaminated, which could cause serious infection or other life-threatening complications if the sterility of these injectable solutions is compromised.
- Stop using affected kits if you work in anesthesia or pain management.
- Check the lot number on your kits against the recalled batches listed in the FDA notice.
- Contact your hospital or clinic's materials management or procurement department immediately.
- Report any adverse effects or product concerns to the FDA's MedWatch program.
Lidocaine, Bupivacaine, and 0.9% sodium chloride, the subject of a supplier recall, were included into kits and sets. The supplier was found to have quality issues and limited reports of drug ineffectiveness, and if sterility of a water-based injectable product is compromised this could lead to serious or life-threatening injuries.
